Antwerp keeps a long bakery tradition that runs from civic sweets to slow sourdough. Philip's Biscuits and Bakkerij Goossens both work historic houses on Korte Gasthuisstraat in the theaterbuurt, the latter known for its rye-raisin roggeverdommeke. The newer wave gathers in Het Zuid, where Bürr Bakehouse ferments its dough for days and Bakkerij FUNK pairs vegan loaves with natural wine.
